Dependency Management

For development using the Liferay Platform, update Liferay Workspace to use the  latest dependencies, by adding the following line to the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
	compileOnly group: "com.liferay.portal", name: "release.portal.api"
}

All portal dependencies are now defined with a single declaration. When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.  

By setting a product info key property it will be possible to update all dependencies to a new version by updating the liferay.workspace.product property in the liferay workspace projects gradle.property file:

liferay.workspace.product = portal-7.4-ga47

When using an IDE such as Eclipse or IntelliJ all apis are immediately available in autocomplete for immediate use.

Features

Objects

Allow users to export and import object definitions without losing their object relationships

In order to provide a more portable framework, Liferay Objects now supports exporting and importing objects and its relationships. This allow users to configure their objects in a safe environment and then moving everything to a production environment with even less effort.

https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-155914

Allow users to map a Form’s upload field to the Liferay Objects

Users now can map attachment fields from objects to upload field on Liferay forms​​​​​​​.

https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-162658​​​​​​​

Allow users to enable object entry integration with audit framework

Users now can configure their object entries changes to be tracked and listed in Liferay audit framework.

Application Security

We removed the Session ID field from the audit information of the logs

Session IDs identified as not useful in logs and can be removed. The need was identified by the LXC project team.

https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-140258​​​​​​​

We added the user’s email address to the audit info in the log

I has become apparent that in order to cross reference Liferay and other logs for tracing user activities, the user’s portal login (screenName, emailAddress or userId, whichever is configured) needs to be added to the AuditLogContext which can then be configured to show in the log.

The need was identified by the LXC project team.

New option to set the default Administrator password without using the default.admin.password property

As shipping a product with a default Administrator password goes against OWASP Top Ten we want to change that behavior with changing the default value of that property empty. It will be used by administrators to be able to set the password they will want to use.

https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-150388

Configure a mapping among user entity related fields and OpenID Connect claims as an Instance Administrator

This feature allows admin to configure a custom mapping from user attribute to userInfo claim.

https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-162055​​​​​​​

Staging

This optimization feature can be turned off/on by “Infrastructure” → “Site Templates” → ”Cancel site template propagation import tasks” configuration value.

The default value is true. The feature can be disabled, and the reason for this is that in certain portal usage patterns it can prevent the actual propagation from happening for a longer time. When the pages are viewed too frequently and the template is changed too often, it can lead to a situation when all background tasks are cancelled, since there’s always a newer version of the template available in a newly queued import task.
